CHARLES TAYLOR'S CONVICTION FOR WAR CRIMES CHARACTERIZED AS STARK WARNING TO OTHER WAR CRIMINALS - OH SURE


POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL 

Stark warning?

Tony Blair, mass murderer and liar, walks freely about, scooping up bags of money from special interests.

George Bush, mass murderer and liar and extraordinary ignoramus, sits peacefully on his porch, swilling beer.

Dick Cheney, mass murderer and vile abuser of his office, shoots his ugly mouth off regularly.

Nothing has happened to mass murderer Donald Rumsfeld.

Benjamin Netanyahu continues bullying and threatening, stealing and murdering.

Ehud Olmert, murderer of 400 children among other accomplishments, is retired in comfort.

Ariel Sharon, who spent a lifetime killing people and launching unwarranted wars, was only felled by natural causes.

Henry Kissinger, a war criminal as great as any tried at Nuremberg, still lurks in the shadows whispering advice to the influential.

The totality of those gentlemen's handiwork makes Charles Taylor look a piker at murder.

I don't see Taylor’s trial as anything more than the powers-that-be getting an old enemy.
